Oh great, capitalism has extended its greedy hand beyond our planet. It was better when governments were doing space missions, it was at least mostly for scientific interest and the good of humanity as a whole.
Oh so you'd find it better if those greedy companies would destroy our planet, jungles and oceans full of life instead of a lifeless asteroid somewhere in the galaxy huh? Think about it
Not at all. But it's not a choice between those two, they would do both. It's a choice between only doing one, on our planet, and additionally destroying the solar system, not carefully and cautiously in the name of humanity's progress, but in a mad pecuniary rush.
